Two suspects were apprehended shortly after the break-in, and two others, including 39-year-old Gilbert Keith Moore, of 50 Tanya Drive in Nebo, were on the run for six days before being captured and charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, possession of stolen goods and injury to real property.
Since that time, offenses against Moore have continued to pile up.

Detective Billie Brown of the Sheriff’s Office charged Moore; 28-year-old Marcus Leonard Pendley, of 136 Finley Ave. in Marion; and 21-year-old Cory Tyler Woodard, of 275 Cool Springs Lane in Marion, with two counts each of breaking and entering a motor vehicle and larceny of a motor vehicle and one count each of burglary and larceny after breaking and entering.
On Jan. 5, an employee of Bowie Automotive, on U.S. 70 East in Nebo, reported that a BMW and a Mercedes-Benz were stolen from the business. Both cars were recovered but damaged, and stereo speakers had been stolen from one.
The suspects were caught on camera at Bowie Automotive.
Detective Patrick Guion of the Sheriff’s Office charged Moore and Diamond Montana Noles, 18, of 128 Franklin Ave. in Marion, with possession with intent to sell and deliver methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine.
